Fanzone at The Fire Station to watch the AC Milan v Sunderland Europa League match live on video walls, hosted by the Wise Men Say Podcast.
The Fire Station is hosting a fanzone for Sunderland v AC Milan on Thursday 10 December, with the match shown live on video walls. It's a Europa League tie, and the whole thing is hosted by the Wise Men Say Podcast, so you'll have their commentary running alongside the game rather than just the television feed. If you're not one for watching the football at home, this is a way to catch it with a crowd in the city instead.
The venue is The Fire Station on High Street West, which has been a live music and performance space in the heart of Sunderland since 1907. It's a well-known spot for gigs, and it's also part of the city's Culture Quarter. If you've never been inside, it's worth knowing it's more than just a room for one-off events: they run a Culture Quarter membership and offer VIP Member tours that take you through the building's history and into areas you don't usually see, like the dressing rooms, the stage door, and the stage itself. That's the same stage where Dave Stewart, Emeli Sandé, PJ Harvey, Franz Ferdinand, John Grant, Francis Rossi, and Richard Hawley have all performed over the years.
